Orange Eyes and Cherry Lips Look

Monday, February 6, 2012

Of course I should have been studying for two quizzes that I have this week but instead I stayed up late yesterday doing this look and trying to photograph it well. I just want to say that Sugarpill's Love+ turns into such a gorgeous bright pink blush on the skin. It was a little difficult to blend out because of how pigmented it was so if you do decide to use it as a blush, apply a small amount with a very fluffy brush.

I should also add in that it's very different for me to see my face without my glasses on. I don't wear contacts, haven't for ages and don't have that great of vision so it's always weird for me to see my face all clear and not unfocused. Haha it's also made me much more aware of how unsymmetrical my face is.

I was thoroughly inspired/copied by the bottom right look from this pictures that I saw through tumblr but unfortunately I don't know the source of this set of pictures. I tried looking through the notes of the Tumblr post I found it on but I didn't find any information. If you guys know, can you post a comment so I can credit it accordingly? Edit: Found it! Thanks to The Student's Guide to Nail Polish, this is the cover image for the Brown Eyed Girls single "Cleansing Cream" and the Brown Eyed Girls are a girl group from South Korea.

I did alter the shape of the eyeliner and I'm much tanner than the model but I really really loved the mixture of the orange with the graphic liner and the juicy red cherry lips. I upped the flash a little bit to mimic the heavy contrast in the picture. Haha I tried to copy the one eye open one eye closed pose but it kept looking like I was doing a derp face.

Not very wearable but I just felt so compelled to do it!

Very bold and amazing! Love how you recreated this look! Love+ looks great on you as a blush! And I agree with Mara, this may be the most adventurous look I've see you do. You need to do more bold looks like this!
